Kind of a funny (but really crazy) story about invitations and guests

My mom had a similar experience. She invited her cousin, cousin's wife, and their daughter. The daughter was 19 at the time, and living at home because she took a semester off from college. Somehow, my mom (who's not from the US and didn't know) made a faux pas because the cousin's wife tore into my mom about how anybody over 18 is required to have a separate invitation. She has never forgotten that, 35 years later. The daughter ended up getting a separate invite.

Oh my goodness, family drama never fails to disappoint. Sounds like you're being a good sport about it

I feel for you, it's sad really how some people change their tune from feeling like they have been slighted to acting like a total big-headed Diva. If I ?were you, give grandma a call and have a heart to heart with her and tell her that if she doesn't stop acting the way she is, she WILL get officially uninvited to the 'lwedding. You don't need all that drama ruining your big day.

Wow...she definitely should have gone through her own mail first! We're definitely dealing with the "oh but you should invite so and so." It's kind of frustrating because we can only afford so much and I'd like to spend the day with those I'm truly close to.

Hahaha yep. My mom's best friend was apparently upset that I invited her, her husband and her adult kids, but didn't invite HER sisters.

Yep - my mom's best friends SISTERS. Who, by the way, have left me off of everything they've ever done and each of their adult kids weddings and showers and such for the last 15 years. Even when I was a minor in the same household, they left my name off invites and addressed things to just my mom, sister etc.

My moms friend got drunk a few weeks ago, called my mom up and asked if I'd "reconsider."

Reconsider up ya butt (Stanley from the office reference)

Please don't take Heathers advice. You can't uninvite someone. Ever. It's just wrong.
